Suggestion

When there are multiple RSS feeds for the same site and that site has a request rate limit, qBittorrent fails to update the RSS feed. Please implement a retry pattern with exponential backoff or allow users to set the rate of requests per site per time unit.

In fact, there is already a similar mechanism that prevents simultaneous requests to such sites. However, it has a more simplified form, sending another request immediately after the response to the previous one was received. It looks like it would be possible to add some delay between them.

I would love to see this implemented. It seems all my feeds update at the same time, which causes half of them to fail. If I update them a second apart, they update just fine.
